Tomra (Asker, Norway; www.tomra.com) has launched a campaign to collect 500 bn containers annually for Clean Loop Recycling, the company’s version of the closed-loop recycling process.
The firm, well-known for its reverse vending machine technology, said it is celebrating its 50th anniversary and has more than 100,000 installations in over 80 markets. Tomra said it receives over 40 bn drink containers each year and plans to enable 40% of plastic packaging produced globally to be collected for recycling by 2030. Currently, only 14% of all the world’s plastic packaging is captured for recycling, with just 2% recycled in a closed loop system.

The company recently launched its Tomra R1, a “multi-feed” reverse vending machine that enables recyclers to put more than 100 containers into the machine at once rather than inserting them individually.
